Firstly, I'm not an actual Fox body owner but using a 5.o in a Factory Five Cobra. Most of the mechanical parts came out of a '90 GT, engine, T5, 8.8 rear end, spindles and brakes. After 3 years on the road time has come to upgrade the engine!!!
The original build was standard E7TE block with GT40P heads and E303 cam. Now, the block is off getting machined to +030" and I have to decide what to build. I need to keep the heads/cam but have installed new TFS valve springs. I also now have a Exp upper/lowers and have 30 LB injectors to go with the rebuild. An MS3/MS3X will do the engine management.
Should I stick with just a 306 using reground standard crank with new pistons OR go for a 331 stroker kit (see link) and live with the limitations of the heads/cam?
I'd like to hit 300hp to 325hp which should be plenty entertaining for a 2200lb car

Roller rockers, new push rods and a full crank/flywheel/damper balance will be used along with whatever else any one can suggest.
Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks, John
